Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or knee:

    “Nature herself her shape admires;
    The gods are wounded in her sight;
    And Love forsakes his heavenly fires
    And at her eyes his brand doth light:
    Heigh ho, would she were mine!”
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    “He has no resolution, he shrinks from pain or labour in any of its shapes. His very attitude bespeaks this: he never straightens his knee joints, he stoops with his fat ill- shapen shoulders, and in walking he does not tread but shovel and slide.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
